Guys, we are starting a book club. I understand it is a fact that most people do not want to commit to reading long books about challenging topics. That is why this book club will include several positional types, who can all benefit and contribute from being in the club. Here's what I mean:
-The Vanguards: these guys read. We make the pace, and we for the most part stay on pace. We lead the discussion at meetings and are responsible for helping everybody gain a better understanding of the meat and potatoes of these books. Highest workload, highest reward.
-The Dabblers: these guys probably buy the books and keep it on their shelf, but ask ChatGPT to give them summaries of all the chapters. Or watch Reels of people who have read the book. In all honesty, bringing this information to meetings will be super valuable. We love our Dabblers for their breadth of perspective and variety of intel.
-The Observers: the observer has not, does not, and will probably never read. However, they still want to learn the content in a more digestible format, ask questions, and be part of a fun club. They can come to meetings, ask thought provoking questions to the readers (which improves the readers' understanding of the content), and learn about the value that others are getting from the books.
So, please comment to become part of the club. Once you're in, you get to vote on the books we read! We will have a discussion forum dedicated to the club, and semi-regular meetings to share ideas!
Our first book is Jordan Peterson's latest, We Who Wrestle With God.
